Hi! I am sure that many will answer your questions, but I shall try just
to give a couple of hints. Please let me (us) know what you think about
it.

You are right, Christ is forever. Who is Christ? The Galilean that
preached 2000 years ago His wonderful message and gave up His precious
life? Yes, indeed, but there is more. Jesus promised to come back. We
Baha'is believe that Baha'u'llah is the returned Christ. Christ is also
the Logos. The perfect manifestation of the Creator Who is spirit. This
Logos has always appeared and will always appear.

The signs of the return are fulfilled the same way that they were
fulfilled the first time that Christ came: in a spiritual, profound and
eternal way.
